Speaking into a red telephone behind the Denver bench during the Broncos’ 34-8 rout of the Patriots at New England in 1996:

“The British are coming, the British are coming! Mr. President! We need the National Guard! We need as many men as you can spare because we are killing the Patriots! So call the dogs off! Send the National Guard, please! They need emergency help! Please! Help!”

On growing up poor in Glennville, Ga:

“We were so poor, a robber once broke into our house and we ended up robbing the robber.”
